Today, for the first time in my life, I disinfected a shopping cart with wipes the supermarket has at the entrance. I probably should have been doing it all along. Those hand bars are probably covered in boogers. Just remember this. The last person that used that cart could have wiped their ass with their finger ( it's a real thing). Covered their cough with their hand, only to generously share their fluids with you on the shopping cart, or deposited any number of disgusting things you would not intentionally touch. Use the fuk'n wipes. btw. The company my wife works for has restricted business AND personal travel to Manhattan and Westchester.

A filthy gun makes for a difficult time diagnosing issues. Even if the crud itself is not causing the issues, it can certainly hide them.

About five years ago I went to look at a new base $199.99 10/22. I have pellet guns that are more like a rifle than that 10/22 I held. No idea what kind of wood the stock was made of, they just said it was hardwood, it felt hollow, add to that painted, not blued, too much plastic and the barrel looks like if you leaned it up against a wall for a spell, it would get a bend in it. It saddened me. I've heard the 870 has taken some hits on fit and finish and they use plastic trigger guards and mystery hardwood furniture now.

Mags not bad if they feed everything else. I have a Marlin 25N bolt action that eats everything except Winchester hyper velocity. I've shot just about every kind of CCI ammo, Federal Automatch and ValPak, Aguila Super Extra (Mexican Mini-Mags), Winchester bulk pack and a few others. Not one issue until I tried the Winchester HV ammo. The problem I was having could have been related to the magazine, or could have been the way the bullet rides the feed ramps. But the problem was with the ammo, not the rifle.

Save your money. Alcohol is great for bacteria but only so-so when it comes to viruses. It does not work on norovirus, HIV SARS, MRSA and a whole bunch more. It can't hurt to have some on hand but it has to be 70% or better to work on the viruses that it will work on. Walmart carries 91% iso real cheap. The stuff that does work on most all viruses is pretty nasty. You would absolutely NOT want to use it for hand sanitizer. It would cause a very bad reaction. It's highly effective for cleaning doorknobs, drawer pulls, children's toys (but they have to be rinsed after) and just about any other surface people touch all the time. The stuff I'm familiar with is called Cavicide and Cavi Wipes. If there is a medical supply near you, they might have it or will have something else just as effective. For cleaning surfaces, 1:50 bleach/water works great on viruses. The ratio I use is a bit overkill, but I like over kill.. Just don't wear anything you like. It's almost impossible to not get bleach on you. Just keep your hands off your face, off other people's faces, out of your mouth, out of other people's mouths, eat food with not coughed on utensils, wash your hands regularly. you will have upped your prevention game exponentially by just doing that.

Only 42 Lbs? Are you sure you are Sicilian? How many gallons of olive oil do you have?

Let's also remember that a majority of the fatalities occurred in China, where the citizens are generally malnourished, have been breathing very toxic air every day for many years, and have that lovely socialized healthcare. I bet the number of people in China that die from the common flu or a cold is also higher compared to the US.

Gene Solomon E.H. Solomon Shooter Supply 142 Yellowbrook Rd, Farmingdale, NJ 07727 Open Wed 1830 -2100, Fri 1830-2100 and Sun 1300-1600 In my opinion, this is the best guy in NJ for anything related to shotgun reloading, actually reloading in general. He has odd hours but absolutely worth working around. The guy knows his shit and is happy to share his wealth of knowledge.

It looks like a...... Never mind.

I think you need to test that theory. Go to one of those "cash for gold" places tomorrow and get all the gold you can. If you make it out alive we'll split it 50/50 because it was my idea.

You don't know he's not a Jedi. I want to see a medichlorian count.

Those Jedi mind tricks do not work on pragmatists.

What is your friend asking?

All of the components (hull, primer,powder,wad, and shot) in their individual packs will take up more space than flats. No argument there. BUT.... An 8# jug of powder and 3 boxes of primers take up very little space and is vastly more portable. Like I said, 3000 reloads from one 8# jug is the same as 12 flats. There are many great reasons for reloading. Currently, savings does not top of the list, but savings should not be the singular attraction to reloading.

Fear is good, it's a motivator. It's how one responds to fear that makes or breaks a person.

A lot of trap and skeet shooters would disagree with that opinion.

For 12GA & 20GA casual shooters, yes and no. In the short term, you save very little or maybe nothing at all. X number of years from now, when buying ammo is a bigger hassle and the prices have doubled or tripled, all the reloading supplies you bought today will payoff then. 410GA, 16GA, 28GA. All worth reloading. 12/20 GA Shotshell reloading is fairly cheap to get into. There is a virtually unlimited supply of free used hulls if you know where to pick them up, primers cost like 3 cents each, an 8# jug of powder will last a very very long time, producing the equivalent of 11 to 12 flats (nearly 3000 shells), and a Lee Load-All press will set you back about $60.00. There is little incentive to get into 12/20ga shotshell reloading. But, being so inexpensive to get into, there is even less of a reason to not buy yourself a little "insurance" for the future.

To be fair.... Mountain House is in very short supply, with 95% of the products offered on my preferred website sold out and on back order. Mt. House is the same as CCI MiniMags as far as being the gold standard in long term storage foods, so that's what everyone will be buying. The pallet would be a good group buy. It comes out to $4.50/serving, which is about $3-$4 less per serving compared to individual two serving pouches. The real problem for some may be where to get the 560 gallons of water to rehydrate the food.

If this claim were true, then this would be sold out. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020997958?pid=183559
